Well I guest the response to this topic says it: who cares?

I am not being sarcastic. I truly believe that if these students and/or their families do not care, others should not (yes, SHOULD not - or at least PUBLIC RESOURCES should not be used to deal with this).[/quote]

The economy cares. We have a public education system for economic reasons. [b]It's better for the economy to have an educated workforce.[/b] [/quote]

No one disputes that.  The question is, what entity should be responsible for alleviating economic conditions not conducive to education?

I don't think that's the schools.  [/quote]

If you mean feeding kids, yea the school should feed kids. The education system has dealt with social and economic conditions through the depression and all the fun wars we have had. [/quote]

When my mother was in school in Europe, right after World War II, sometimes the only food she got all day was at school. She's happy that the people running the schools didn't believe that hungry kids weren't a school issue,
